After Shao Dong finished speaking, Wang Bo also pursed his mouth in embarrassment. Although he just said it casually, it was also a subconscious judgment. However, this kind of judgment that had not been carefully considered was of no help in the case.

However, after carefully recalling the questions raised by Shao Dong before, and with his words just now, Wang Bo was also in deep thought.

Wu Wei is also in deep thought.

Wuwei is a forensic doctor with outstanding experience and business abilities, but he has a characteristic, which is that he likes to toss things that ordinary people cannot understand in his spare time. Although he has strong business abilities, this guy always likes some strange things that have nothing to do with his job.

For example, he is a veteran military fan, and for example, he is more interested in solving cases and reasoning than dissection and autopsy.

After thinking for a while, Wang Bo spoke again and said, "Do you think this is the case? Because the murderer wanted to scare the victim to death, but he did not use any method to scare him to death, but he used verbal stimulation, just like Wang Hu's situation at that time?"

"You take a break." Wu Wei said angrily: "It is entirely possible to complete psychological hints with words, which will lead to the gradual weakness of the organs and then achieve the effect of death.

But Xu Ping's situation is different. He was mentally stimulated and was directly scared to death. You said, what should the murderer say to him? He could scare him to death. Otherwise, you would say one and scare me to death? I see what kind of flowers can you tell me?"

To be honest, Wang Bo was also quite helpless. He was kind of straight and said whatever he thought. Of course, this was different. If he hadn't been with Shaodong and Wuwei, he would have been much more cautious in his words.

At the moment, while Shao Dong was still silent, Wang Bo said again: "Is it because the murderer wants to have a strong psychological stimulation that the victim must cooperate to tie him up?

For example, if you give him a horror movie, such as the famous film in the Island Country, did it mean that when the movie was released in the cinema, it was so scary that Xu Ping was not difficult, right?"

This is possible, because some horror movies can indeed bring strong psychological stimulation to people, and it is not impossible to be scared to death with weak psychological endurance.

But Shao Dong, who was silent, shook his head and said, "No, first, if the victim wakes up and finds himself tied up, his first reaction is to escape, struggle and resist, rather than having the leisure to watch the movies the murderer has played for him. If he is still in the mood to watch the movies the murderer has prepared for him, then the victim's psychology will not be fragile, but will be powerful and terrifying.

Second, the horror created by horror movies requires the influence of the atmosphere, and this atmosphere requires several key points. The first is the environment and the second is the mood. In that situation, the environment is OK, but the mood will definitely not achieve the ideal effect. Even if the murderer puts the video in front of the victim and forces him to watch it with a knife, the victim's mood cannot be fully focused.

So, from these two points, the murderer cannot achieve any effect using this method."

In fact, Shao Dong had thought about this problem before, but he was soon overturned because doing so could not achieve the goal the murderer wanted.

After saying this, Wang Bo was stunned. He really couldn't understand why the murderer scared the victim to death, and had to knock him out with trouble, and tie him up.

Finally, Wang Bo said helplessly: "Then I can only think of a little bit. The murderer knocked out and tied up the victim was not his purpose. His purpose was just a ritual. Simply put, it was a ritual killing."

A ritual killing?

Wang Bo's statement made Shao Dong's eyes lit up. At home and abroad, some murderers really pay great attention to the sense of ritual when they are murderers. Killing is not their purpose, and pursuing perfect rituals is the foundation for their crimes.

In Xu Ping's case, although it is lacking in the sense of murder ritual, it would be different if you think of the deaths of his grandfather, grandma and his mother.

Because in the past three cases, including Xu Ping, all had an important ceremony.

Thinking of this, Shao Dong said: "Wang Bo, do you still remember that all the dead people in the Xu family have one thing in common, which can also be said to be the same ritual."

"You mean, the inexplicable sound of death knives?" Wang Bo also reacted immediately.

Yes, this is the ceremony!

In itself, the ringing of the death knell is an ancient ritual, which belongs to the death sacrifice.

In the Xu family, the death of everyone should not have sounded the death knell of the death sacrifice, but it was inexplicably ringed.

This shows that the murderer pays great attention to this sense of ritual. In other words, the murderer pursues this kind of ritual. Of course, it is also possible that this kind of ritual has some special significance to the murderer.

"If it's just a ritual, it won't make sense." Wu Wei shook his head and said, "In the past murder cases, there are all kinds of rituals, but all rituals have one thing in common, that is, beauty. Whether it is aesthetics in the traditional sense or non-traditional violent aesthetics, they can't escape the word "beauty".

For example, in a serial murder case on Treasure Island many years ago, the murderer would tie a beautiful bow on the deceased after killing everyone. This is his sense of ritual. In this ceremony, the traditional aesthetics are pursued.

There was a serial murder case in a country on the other side of the ocean. Every time the murderer killed someone, he would cut off the victim's right hand and left foot, and then fix the body on a tree, or on a rock or a chair in a strange posture. This is also a ritual, but this belongs to the category of violent aesthetics."

Regarding Wuwei's statement, Shao Dong nodded. He recalled the cases of ritual murder that he knew. Indeed, as Wuwei said, every ritual killing, no matter what kind of ritual is used, it cannot be separated from the word "beautiful".

These are those perverted paranoids and the final paranoid.

Moreover, the murderers of ritual murder are almost all perfectionist suitors, and they will definitely not make up for the simplicity.

If we look at these points, Xu Ping's case definitely cannot reach the level of ritual murder.

But what made Shao Dong helpless was that in the past few decades, including Xu Ping, the case, they had already had the basis for ritual murder.

At least, the fact that the murderer sounds the death knell every time he kills one person is already a kind of ritual killing. The murderer's pursuit of ritual is greater than his pursuit of murder. Of course, such a murderer is the most terrifying.

Because they are no longer satisfied with killing, they pursue the perfection of the ceremony.

"If it weren't for a ritual murder, the murderer's actions would be somewhat unreasonable, because it is obvious that the murderer's killing method wasted a lot of time and energy, and increased the possibility of exposure, which is not in the interests of the murderer."

Although Wang Bo likes to speak nonsense, his analysis sometimes makes sense. After all, he has worked as a scout for so many years, and his observation and thinking ability are still available.

"Can the murderer asks for psychological stimulation to the victim, but before the murderer commits the murderer, everything is not ready, so he has no choice but to knock the victim unconscious, and then make these preparations when the victim is in a coma?"

Wuwei also has his own opinions, but his opinions are similar to Wang Bo's previous opinions.

Shao Dong did not answer his question, but said: "In fact, if the case of Xu Ping's grandparents and his mother was put together, then this case already has the basis for ritual murder. At least in these cases, there is the same ritual, and the death knives were inexplicably ringed."

"Yes." Wang Bo also nodded and said, "This is a ritual in itself. It's just that we don't seem to know much about this ritual. But no matter what, the murderer rings a death knell every time he kills people, which shows that he attaches great importance to this issue and has regarded it as a very important thing before doing it."

Speaking of this, Shao Dong felt very regretful. In fact, they should be very close to the murderer today, because when they went to Xihe Village today, the death knell on the mountain was just ringed.

Shaodong didn't believe anything inexplicably, but was ringed by someone. He believed only one thing, that is, someone really sounded the death knell. As for the method used by the murderer, although Shaodong knew nothing, he understood that he had definitely used some methods. Moreover, it is very likely that the murderer was on the mountain at that time, very close to them.

Because Shaodong did not associate Death Knell with Xu Ping's death at all at that time, he directly ignored such a great opportunity. When they knew the relationship between the two, the time had passed.

Putting aside these lost clues, Shao Dong said: "If Xu Ping, his grandparents and his mother were both killed by the same murderer, then the only common point in these four cases is that when the four people died, the death knives on the mountain were ringed. As for the reason, it is unknown! But this shows a problem, the murderer has a paranoid persistence in ringing the death knives.

More than thirty years have passed, and his paranoia is still there, which shows that the murderer's personality is very persistent. In other words, he is very stubborn. Once such a person decides what he wants to do, ordinary people cannot change him.

However, judging by his killing four people over the past thirty years, this also proves.”
